GRAFTON, W. VA, July 6.-All day long
the hole the fro burnt in Grafton has
been an object Of melancholy intereat.
Viewed in light Of the more terrible pos.
slbllitley, II is evident that only great
deal Of hard work and as much good luck
saved the town from ,worse calamity.
Too much cannot be said OF tho zsal with
which the people turned in to help their
unfortunate neighbora and save the town.
For while It seemed like fighting againu.
fate, but well directed and persistent et-
Tort brought lis reward, and great as the
destruction was, large as the loss is for a
small town, big sigh Of relief went up
when It was seen that the worst was over.
4,l't GETTING READY TO REBulLp. fil.
Grafton Is good deal diaigurel, but
ahe is still in the ring, and has no inten-
ton OF throwing up the sponge. Alrosdy
the work of clearing away the rnins has
begun, and will be kept up ,briskly until
the diehguremeut Of the fire has been
wiped out. MIR. Briukmann, 1t is said,
will build brick block for store rooms
with large public hall above, and Messts.
Miller, Thaysr, White and Shaw will
jointly build large block. Ih.j ,g}i
